New Plugins Ponticlaro Media Settings It has a really nifty [media] shortcode that hacks into the great built-in WordPress gallery.  You can put one [media] in your post and it will access the first image in the gallery without any code. Table of Contents Creator Table of Contents Creator (TOCC) automatically generates a dynamic site wide table of contents that is always up-to-date. All entries are navigable making your site extremely SEO friendly. TOCC can be configured to display static pages, blog entries and forum comments. Another great feature of TOCC is the ability to include anchor tags marked with a special class. This feature allows links to articles, downloads or even other sites to appear within the table of contents as if they are part of your site’s navigation. Posty Widget Displays the contents of two custom fields in a Sidebar Widget. The widget can stay the same (and […]

bbpress

That’s the question Matt Mullenweg is asking on the official bbPress.org support forums. The post highlights the fact that bbPress is not going away and that it is an important project for the WordPress community. After all, it powers the WordPress.org plugin repository, the support forums, and TalkPress, Automattics hosted forum service. Strategically the most important thing we need to figure out is how to integrate bbPress better with WP more for people who want that — right now it’s easier to use one of the WP plugins for forums than bbPress. I’ve only installed bbPress locally once to check it out but it’s not my cup of tea. I think the bbPress forum software is aimed at developers since it comes with all the basics to build on or around but doesn’t contain the feature set of modern forum software out of the box. For example, the SimplePress plugin […]

A few days ago, something new showed up on each plugin page throughout the repository. This new box on the right hand side is a way of enabling the community to say whether a plugin is compatible with the newest version of WordPress or not. Normally, the plugin information within the FYI box tells you which version of WordPress is required and which version the plugin is compatible up to. Unfortunately, the version the plugin is compatible up to is not updated that often which is why some plugins which state that they only work up to WordPress 2.5 end up working with the latest release. If you have a WordPress.org forum user account, you’ll need to log in in order to vote. The voting is simple. The first box enables you to select which version of WordPress you’re running, including the latest version being worked on. The second box […]

Dave Moyer who hosts the WordCast Podcast tipped me off to this development. Apparently, development on the PodPress plugin has resumed thanks to a couple of different things happening with the plugin author. My work schedule is now setup to allow me to be more active in the community again, which means I can now get podPress dev and my Podcast going again. Tons of people keep bugging me for updates, and I have appreciated every one of them And special thanks to the new sponsor for giving me the final push that was needed to get going on development again. However, the post on MightySeek.com was published on August 16th. There are a few other posts from the same time period yet the MightySeek blog has gone silent once again so I am unsure as to whether or not the plugin will actually be coming back. I’ve tried to […]

Addicott Web has a great little article online that goes in depth on the uses of WordPress conditional statements. The Conditional Tags can be used in your Template files to change what content is displayed and how that content is displayed on a particular page depending on what conditions that page matches. These statements enable a wide range of flexibility when it comes to when and where to display content. In fact, I use conditional tags all the time with my use of the Widget Logic plugin. I tell the widget which page I want it to be displayed on with a conditional statement and it only shows up on that page. I love these things. Let me know in the comments what you’ve been able to achieve using them in your own theme or widgets.

WordPress 2.9 New Features: Barbara Vaz has put together a seven minute video on the new Trash feature and the new image and media manipulation features in WordPress 2.9 but the video is in Portuguese. Since I don’t understand the language, even a muted look through the video was interesting. Also of interest is a series of posts by Ronen Hirsch about getting started with WordPress. Topics are as simple as straightforward as what one can do with WordPress, where to get and use WordPress and some of the simpler features of WordPress.
